SEND Child Caretaker / Tutor (Male) Daytime Provision ASAP START
Job Title: 2:1 SEN Tutor / Support Mentor – Alternative Provision
Location: Lichfield, WS13 area
Start Date: ASAP
Hours: Monday to Friday, 9:00am–11:00am
Job Type: Part\-time, weekday mornings
Role Type: 2:1 support — two tutors supporting one child
Job Overview
We are looking for two patient, active and reliable tutors/support mentors to work with a Year 3 child in the Lichfield WS13 area.
This is a highly personalised alternative provision role. The child has a strong love for football, so the majority of each session will involve football\-based activities at a local park, outdoor space or suitable concrete area where he can play safely and freely.
Short bursts of education will be integrated into the session, usually around 10–20 minutes at a time, depending on the child’s engagement.
Session Structure
Each 2\-hour session may include:
- Football\-based activity and movement breaks
- Building trust, routine and positive rapport
- Short English and Maths tasks
- Basic number work: addition, subtraction, multiplication and division
- Simple handwriting and sentence work
- Calm transitions between football and learning
- De\-escalation and regulation support where needed
The child is currently in Year 3 and requires a calm, consistent and trauma\-informed approach. He may present with challenging or violent behaviours at times, so tutors must be confident using de\-escalation strategies, maintaining boundaries and keeping sessions safe.
This role is not a traditional classroom\-style tutoring role. The main focus is engagement, trust\-building, physical activity, emotional regulation and slowly introducing learning in manageable blocks.
Ideal Candidate
We are looking for someone who is:
- Patient, calm and reliable
- Confident working with children with challenging behaviour
- Comfortable supporting outdoor football\-based sessions
- Able to build rapport through sport and positive interaction
- Able to deliver basic English and Maths support
- Confident using de\-escalation techniques
- Available Monday to Friday, 9am–11am
- Able to start ASAP, ideally from 20th April
- Experience with SEN, SEMH, alternative provision or challenging behaviour is desirable
- Enhanced DBS preferred
- Right to Work in the UK
- References required
- Tutoring, mentoring, sports coaching or youth work experience welcomed
Competitive hourly rate depending on experience.
To Apply
Please apply with your CV and include your availability, relevant experience, and whether you are able to start from Monday 20th April.
